"Nine," the Tony winner inspired by the life of Fellini, is presented by BAMtheatre, co-founded in Hinsdale by Director Melanie Lamoureux. The troupe's college intensive production is the story of a film director's attempts to come up with a plot for his next movie, while pursued by hordes of beautiful women. Cast and crew include Max Cervantes, Carisa Gonzalez, Zaire Paul-Emile, Alexis Arias and Andy Ortiz, all of Berwyn, and Samantha Nieves and Victoria Gonzalez, both of Cicero. “Its sheer appraisal of the life of an artist is truly magnificent," Lamoureux said.

"Shorts for a Summer’s Evening" is comprised of 10-minute plays presented by Theatre of Western Springs active members. "A year-end tradition, ... it's a chance for even more acting and directing opportunities for our members, and it allows us to stretch our abilities in a less intimidating structure," said Edward W. Wavak, who chairs the eight-play event. "The 'Shorts' are low key and lots of fun. They are a great way to end the season and start the summer.” And for any budding playwrights in the group, the "Shorts" are an ideal venue.

Summer's here, and that means the Brookfield Farmers Market is back in action for the season. Locally grown produce is offered by a variety of vendors including family-owned farms. The market also features live music, group activities and how-to demonstrations. Cooks will revel in the array of organic fruits and veggies, flowers and herbs, breads and freshly baked pastries, local honey, infused vinegars and olive oils, frozen meats, farm eggs and artisan cheese. Pets are welcome at the volunteer-run market.
